Special Report & Commentary: Arizona Audit

Non rockabodas must stop. I don't want to rock the boat. I want to sink it.

Are you gonna bark all day little doggie, or are you gonna bite?

Delusional is okay in your worldview. I'm an animal. You don't chastise chickens for being delusional. You don't chastise pigs for being delusional. So you calling me delusional using your worldview is perfectly okay.

It doesn't really hurt.

Desperate times call for faithful men and not for careful men. The careful men come later and write the biographies of the faithful men lauding them for their courage.

Go into all the world and make disciples not going to the world make buddies not to make brosives, right? Don't go in the world make homies right disciples. I got. I got a bit of a jiggle Nick.

That's a joke.

That's a joke master when we have the real message of truth. We cannot let somebody say they're speaking truth when they're not.

We've got New Zealand happening, of course, Australia, but all kinds of stuff is happening lives are being saved. I wanted to share with you guys a very cool thing that I got to experience last week. I got to go to Michigan to help one of our churches that Started out there with end abortion now, they go out to the abortion facility in Flint, Michigan on a daily basis.

They go out there to preach the gospel to help the mothers and fathers there to offer them Hope and help and all that they need even to adopt their children and they have saved. I believe it's over 300 children now since starting as a result of end abortion now in our conference we held years ago.

So praise God for Justin and Andrew and that local church out there that is working so hard to save lives. It was really incredible. I mean, I got to see one of the babies actually saved from that ministry face to face.

Beautiful beautiful little boy, and they had this spectacular little video montage. They played at this church this this event they were holding and it was just picture after picture after picture of babies Who have been saved so incredible things go to end abortion now comm you can go there to sign up with your church to get Free training free resources.

But also you help in the other arm of what we're doing and that is the legislative aspect speaking As Christians prophetically to our legislators. I'm going to give you an important update. We've had now this year numerous states that we've been able to work with Legislators to speak to them to challenge them to demand immediate justice and equal protection for these preborn children.

As of right now in 2021. I mean, we're just getting close to halfway through the year. We've had Arizona with a bill of equal protection and abolition. That's ending abortion criminalization not incremental ism Oklahoma as well.

We've had Texas. We've had, South Carolina. And we have more states coming. We're working through right now we are working with some people's and believers in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Got some plans right now actually to possibly work with Florida.

And so these are bills of equal protection. These are not bills that are typical of the pro-life industry. These are bills put forward that are consistent. That are consistent with a Christian worldview that are consistent with what we know about what is in the womb human from conception.

So big things happening. Very excited. So I want to thank you everybody for joining us today for this very special Broadcast we are doing a special report in commentary today on We're doing a special report in commentary today on the Arizona Commentary is sorry the Arizona election Audit the Arizona audit so important show today and thank you all for joining us.

The Christian Worldview and the Arizona Audit

Listen. This is an important discussion. And I'll tell you why I I put up on my platform that hate, you know, check out Apologea Studios on YouTube. We're gonna do a live special report and commentary on the Arizona audit and I got a response from somebody that said Something like Jeff just stick to the gospel.

Just stick to the gospel, you know when you get a comment like that. I think it it Dramatically exposes the truncated Christian worldview that most Evangelical believers in the West actually hold to they hold to a worldview that says essentially the Christianity.

You know the gospel itself the Lordship of Christ that speaks to spiritual things, you know. That speaks to those spiritual things over there out there and that gassy vaporous existence, you know, that's where Jesus Maintains his lordship.

That's where he's in charge. You know, he's king of kings and Lord of Lords. You mean we'll say that you know, well, we'll repeat the slogan, but what we typically mean Practically by that as we believe that Jesus is king of kings and Lord of Lords out there somewhere.

Certainly not here I mean, you know the writer of the book of Revelation the Apostle John says that Jesus is The ruler of the kings of the earth that was in the first century when Rome was in charge I mean It's kind of an audacious claim and that's what the Apostle John Thought about Jesus and his rule is that he was ruler of the kings of the earth then Psalm chapter 2 actually long before the time of Christ the Father speaks to the Son and he says ask of me I'll give you the nations for your inheritance the very ends of the earth for your possession and There in that Psalm then take you alone get through that hymn book of the Old Testament Saints.

Psalm chapter 2 is Where it actually has the Father warning the kings of the earth to obey the Son or they'll perish and so it's interesting because we come from a Christian tradition and have received the benefits and blessings of that Christian tradition in the West in terms of law in terms of justice in terms of liberty and freedom all that stuff because those believers behind us held to Comprehensive perspective of the Christian worldview and the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

They didn't think that Jesus was merely Lord out there somewhere in this again spiritual gassy existence. Sort of this upper this higher story out there the spiritual thing. He's not really concerned with the physical here.

No, these believers actually lived in this world Took Jesus seriously in Matthew 28 18 through 20 where Jesus says all authority in heaven and on earth Has been given to me now that is past tense has been given to me.

That's first century if you're keeping track and it is on earth as well. You see these believers in history in Christian history. It's not a utopia in the past I mean Christians have been sanctified the church has been being sanctified for 2 ,000 years but in terms of how Christians viewed the Lordship of Christ the implications of the gospel and Where Christ was to be obeyed every sphere.

They held to a Chris a very comprehensive perspective of the Christian worldview today in the West and The evangelical West today we hold to a very different perspective. It's a perspective. It's a truncated view of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It essentially says something like, you know, you know Christ wants to save some souls just for heaven one day. It's all about a personal romance with Jesus and you know We're satisfied with starting as I often say Bible studies in basements, but we don't really think that Jesus came for the nation's did he.

It's not that Jesus wanted us to actually win the nation's to him and to teach them to obey him, right? So again, we have a very truncated view of the gospel where somebody could say when I say as a pastor.

We're gonna do a special report and commentary on the Arizona audit and somebody says just stick to the gospel. Well, let me address that because I think it's very very important. What's what's at the head of the gospel like what what are what are some of the you know.

It's like someone that says like I don't I don't want doctrine. I just want Jesus. Okay, who's Jesus and all of a sudden they start telling you who Jesus is you go. Welcome to doctrine, baby. You know, it's it's it's a confusion.

But what's at the head of the gospel or You have claims made about Christ about his lordship about who he is. About what he's accomplished and what a pastor in the 21st century West says. Hey, we're gonna do a special commentary in the Arizona audit and what's going on there somebody says just stick to the gospel as.

Though.

Christ's lordship isn't over the issue of integrity. I Mean doesn't Jesus have something to say about integrity. I mean doesn't the Bible talk to us about the sin of lying.

Ought that.

Not matter to us as believers. Shouldn't we actually care about that because Christ is Lord. He's Lord over all He's king of kings and Lord of lords and everybody's supposed to obey him. Doesn't Jesus have something to say about integrity?

I mean, I seem to remember something in the Bible about Christ and the crucifixion and his death for.

For.

Sin is lying a sin. Yes, so Jesus died for lying. Correct. And so doesn't the gospel have something to say in this world in this life about? Lying. I mean isn't Christ Lord over that issue as well. Doesn't the Christian worldview have something to say in the area of integrity and telling the truth.

Now watch I want to just say this ahead of time this show isn't about Picking your your favorite political leader and this this issue. For the Christian worldview goes beyond the previous four years or the past four years and into the next four years this issue is a Fundamental issue and it really speaks to a timeless truth about the character of God God cannot lie and the fact that God calls his image bearers not to lie.

This issue goes beyond your favorite political leader. This isn't about any particular leader. Ultimately. Let me just say this to maybe leftists and liberals who are watching this today Democrats Neocommunists and communists hardcore Marxist neo-marxist and all the rest and to conservatives.

The issue of integrity ought to matter to everybody at all sides. The ground is level there because we're all made in the image of God.

However.

Here's the difficulty we're in today and that is that because our nation has Abandoned the Lordship of Christ by profession and turned away from him and wants to go off into humanism Atheism and secularism and Marxism and all the rest.

Our nation doesn't have a concern in the world any longer in terms of fundamental concern a rigorous commitment to the issue of Integrity, I'm talking about integrity at all positions at all points in all spheres from the bottom to the top whether it's in the family whether it's an education whether it's in politics the secular worldview the humanist worldview the atheistic perspective or agnostic perspective.

Cannot justify an appeal to integrity as mattering at all. So when you live in a nation that has been inundated over the last generation with secular humanistic thinking an abandonment of Christ in his lordship and a commitment to atheistic An atheistic perspective of the world our origins in life today.

When you live in that kind of nation that nation doesn't really have any ultimate concern for integrity. I mean, what's the problem with lying? What's the problem with cheating? Now again, this is an issue.

We should all be able to hold hands together as image bearers of God. I'm talking about the leftists and the conservatives right. Doesn't integrity matter. See from my perspective looking at this from a bird's-eye view trying to take you know Emotion out of it if you look down on the circumstance to try to speak to it with Godly wisdom and godly counsel what we all ought to say is that integrity matters.

Lying is a sin and we don't want that kind of thing as part of our culture. We don't want it in our families. We don't want in our schools. We don't want our churches. We don't want it in government. We don't want lying.

We should all care about that and in terms of elections We all ought to say after every election if there is a forensic audit we ought to say that sounds fantastic. We want to make sure that the truth is told.

We want to make sure that we know accurately what actually took place. Whether you're guys there or not. Everybody should be saying unified as image bearers of God integrity matters because you know. There's it's a dangerous game to play it's a dangerous game to play in any nation if we have to deal with the threat of Lying in politics and lying and elections because here's a deal you might get your favorite guy or gal put into that seat during this run if Say fraudulent elections are a thing if it's possible.

But somewhere down the road when your party loses power if fraudulent Elections and lying and elections is a thing, you know, you'll lose your position down the road. We want integrity. We want truth telling now again, this is not speak.

This is this is not speaking as to what took place in the last election that forensic audit is taking place right now. I'll leave it to the experts. I'll leave it to everyone doing the count but I'm speaking to this as a pastor talking about the principles involved here and What worldview can justify a concern for honesty and integrity in elections?

Let me just say this right now. It ain't the secular worldview. It's not humanism. It does not give you a justification to show cause of concern for integrity in elections. The Christian worldview does so when someone says Jeff you're doing a show today talking about the Arizona audit and integrity in elections.

Just stick to the gospel, bro. I would say I am. Maybe it's you who's not because my gospel that I preach contains within it the Timeless truth that Christ is Lord of all he is God in the flesh. He is the resurrected King and he must be obeyed.

His law matters today in the New Covenant his law matters now. We cannot be justified by our works. Christ is the perfect sacrifice. He's the God man. He's the perfect image of God who lived the righteous and blameless and perfect life the life of perfection.

Every one of us have failed are failing and will always fail. He's the righteous one. We're the sinners. The only hope anybody has is through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and that salvation is a gift of God.

However, the Apostle Paul says in Romans chapter 3 after saying everything I just said the law can justify nobody. This is all a gift of God's grace through the redemption. That's in Christ Jesus. He asked the questions in question in Romans 331.

Do we then make void the law through faith and the answer is no. Because of faith in Jesus we actually establish the law. In other words, we actually have a foundation for we uplift we hold it up. We herald it.

Why. Because we're saved because we know Jesus because his law matters. God is a holy and a righteous God. We have to be concerned with that. Christians are the ones that have a concern for integrity and truth.

Is that wrong to say that? Like when we look at something like the Arizona Audit and people are up in arms about it. You've got the leftist media saying their things about it. You've got others arguing.

I mean shouldn't Christians be the one in the background and holding everything up going? Yeah integrity matters. Do it. Do it do the forensic audit, right? Because uh, God is a God of truth. God cannot lie.

We have to be concerned with integrity and elections do it. Who cares ultimately what it shows in terms of like if their guy is still in there? Fantastic integrity was upheld truth was told let's do the audit.

Wonderful. Tell the truth. The Christian worldview has a basis for that. So someone says the first thing I have to say that when someone says just stick to the gospel Jeff I would say you seem to have a very truncated view of the Christian worldview and I praise God that you weren't around during the founding of this nation because the founders of this nation people who are involved with that had Christianity in the atmosphere and they had a very different perspective of the Lordship of Christ and the comprehensive nature of the Christian worldview.

Than you next thing I would say when someone sees a believer like me a minister of the gospel like myself. Speaking to this issue of integrity and elections and they say just stick to the gospel. I would say given your perspective if we did what you're suggesting and we didn't open our mouths as Christians about things like this to bring light and Salt, which is our role to the culture.

Then you would be living in a place like North Korea or Communist Russia or communist China and let me ask you this question. How's the gospel going in those places? So I just stick to the gospel just stick to the gospel as though the gospel doesn't change the world.

Give me a break. Give me a break. What a sad perspective of the Christian worldview just stick to the gospel as though Christianity doesn't change the world it does because by God's Spirit He changes hearts and minds and puts his law on people's hearts.

So they love his law. And they're careful to obey and observe his statutes, but someone says just stick to the gospel. I would say tell that to the Christians in North Korea. Tell that to the Christians in North Korea.

How's it going for the Christians in North Korea now able to preach the gospel freely? How's it going there? Do you know that North Korea actually used to be a very Christian place? Before the intrusion and takeover and what they have today.

Do you know that? Do you know that North Korea was just filled with Christians in the gospel and when evil and all of the different worldviews that take part in overcoming North Korea do and Christians don't overcome it with light and the gospel.

What do you have you have a nation who? Has a man who thinks he's God and he believes he's the ultimate not Jesus and they don't allow the prop the propagation of the Gospel itself. So when someone says hey, you know, yeah, this might be evil these things might be happening.

But you know just stick to the gospel. I would say I am I don't think that you quite are that you fully comprehend the Comprehensive nature of the Christian worldview. I'd say try that worldview in North Korea friend.

Try it in any communist nation that's had to put down the Christian Church because we say there's another King Jesus. You see despots and tyrannical governments don't want Jesus to be obeyed. Because that means it subverts their authority and so when you say just stick to the gospel I would say I am I'm trying to press the crown rights of Jesus Christ into every area of life.

So if there's lying happening in a culture, I know Jesus died for lies. So I need to call people to repent of that you see the comprehensive nature of the Christian worldview. Jesus died for lies. God cannot lie.

We're made in God's image we have a basis to care about integrity all over the world and in every sphere and especially in elections and Someone says just preach the gospel. I'm trying to I'm trying to in the midst of a cultural conversation That can make no Sense whatsoever outside of the Christian worldview.

Let me just say that out loud and in front of you right now. If you approach this issue from a secular or humanist or atheistic perspective, it makes sense to me if you're resisting Integrity and elections and a forensic audit.

It makes sense to me. The atheistic perspective doesn't have any justification whatsoever for integrity and elections what one African ape does to another one in this purposeless cosmos is Irrelevant it is all it is wholly irrelevant.

There is no good. There is no evil just blind and pitiless indifference as dr Dawkins says in his book River out of Eden famous atheist. He's right, by the way if you take Dawkins Perspective on origins and the world and humanity today that there is no good.

There is no evil. There's only blind and pitiless indifference. So what do I care about integrity and elections? What I care about lying or truth-telling ultimately, it doesn't matter. Maybe I like it for the moment, but it's not morally, you know, I'm not morally responsible to it.

No, only the Christian world you can make sense of integrity and elections get that and you'll get the point only the Christian worldview and and so we need to talk about some important things related to the authority of Jesus Christ our Perspective and perspective of Christians in history is the crisis full and final and total authority over every aspect in every sphere of life.

And and just one note here about the history of America. I mean, it's important to note We say it often on this show if you're new here, welcome everybody. But I want to say that you know, when you look at the origins of this particular American experiment.

You're looking at people that came over who had experienced themselves and their Ancestors their fathers and mothers and grandparents had experienced some pretty unjust Treatments in nations like France and in England and those sorts of things.

And so these Christians had a heritage based upon scripture that they brought over to this great American experiment. So when the colonies came over you're talking about the Puritans the pilgrims the Huguenots or the Huguenots.

Depends on how sophisticated you are how you want to say that when these people came over they had a developed historical Biblical tradition that they brought with them and so the colonies would name Specifically Jesus Christ as Lord or the triune God of Scripture as God over their colony.

They knew where they were pointing in terms of the final resting point of this person has ultimate authority over this Colony when they were creating laws, there was no question about where they were gonna go for standards of justice.

They weren't saying what do you think? Hey, what do you think? Let's just make this up. No, these Christians actually knew where this came from. They had English common law behind them which moves its way all the way back to the law of God and the law of the Lord they I often mention this because it's actually I think one of the most compelling examples of The commitments that the founders and those involved had.

John Jay was our first Supreme Court justice and John Jay you can see as he's developing the case law system of America by the way, you're welcome secularists for our case law system that comes from Moses and When John Jay was writing out our case law system and examples He would quote explicitly from the law of God in the Old Testament to give his examples there's no question what they were thinking and where this was coming from and so we've experienced the blessing of the law of God in our culture and society and so I want to say to those who have a Truncated view of the Christian worldview that say hey just hands off and just focus on getting raptured and leaving your underwear behind and going To heaven one day.

I'm gonna say thank God you weren't around as a point of influence then because although many of the Examples of justice that we have today in our society that have blessed America. They come from the law of God.

They were the foundation of what gave us the blessings that we have today. The law of God was so give me an example First Amendment. The freedom of religion and free expression and free speech, you know.

These Christians that came over you had a sentence of the Covenanters go look up a history of the Covenanters in Scotland and you'll see in terms of what can happen when you have an incestuous relationship between the church and the state where essentially they become One where you have essentially a state controlled church or a church controlled state.

They wanted to avoid all that so they essentially had the Christian doctrine of separation of church and state. They did not mean however ever the separation of God and state. Or the separation of morality and state they knew where I was coming from.

They didn't want to get him in a situation in the Church of England. Which of course if you look at the history of the Covenanters. You'll see the Covenanters died martyrs deaths by the thousands because they would not allow the king to have authority over the church.

They said that's your sphere. You're supposed to obey Jesus over there. You are the issue of justice. You were supposed to wield the sword of justice over there were the church over here. So we'll obey Jesus over here you obey Jesus over there, but you are not taking control of the church.

So separation of church and state was actually a biblical and Christian doctrine. So you're welcome atheists. Although it doesn't mean what you think it means. It doesn't mean the separation of God and state.

It means a separation of church and state two distinct spheres. Two distinct spheres of authority both under the Lordship of Jesus Christ but in terms of the free proclamation of the gospel free speech and those sorts of things freedom of Religion that meant and they understood essentially their context was all these different Christian denominations.

We don't want to have like the Presbyterian Church of America being like the controlling entity over the government of America. They didn't want that and they didn't want the state to control the church.

They said, you know, we want to have all these Christian denominations to be able to be free to worship Jesus Christ He's Orthodox communities without having an ultimate over the these United States of America.

And of course that comes from a biblical perspective of the church in the state the Second Amendment the Second Amendment comes not from. It's funny actually if you think about it, it didn't come from atheism.

It doesn't. You know communist countries don't like it when their citizens are Armed they don't like it because when you have a communist regime and you have an atheist Atheistic perspective of humanity and government and all those things the government is the ultimate the state is the ultimate.

You can't have the peasants down here arming themselves able to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. So in history, what do you see from tyrannical godless governments in terms of weapons.

They take them away from you. Because they don't believe in your fundamental God-given right to self-defense and they want full and ultimate power. So when you look at the Second Amendment. Thank God for the Christian worldview for the Second Amendment the belief that we have as image bearers of God.

The right to defend ourselves to defend our families our property from evil and even against tyrannical governments. That's by the way how this country started. So that Second Amendment right there. You can thank Jesus for that one, too.

And so again you abandon Christ as Lord no wonder people want to take away others guns and Take away the right of the populace to actually defend themselves against a tyrannical government. Why. Because if Jesus is no longer Lord over your nation then?

This guy is the state is and the state can't have the peasants Able to defend themselves against tyranny. So what do they do? They disarm them. So praise God for the Christian worldview and the Lordship of Jesus Christ in the founding of this nation that gave us that law the Second Amendment.

That's from Scripture. Next when you look at things like even the Fourth Amendment the Fourth Amendment no illegal search and seizure you like that one.

I do.

You like that. I love the Fourth Amendment, but where's it come from? I Can't imagine atheism giving us that kind of perspective. Well, we wouldn't want to violate another African ape and start accusing them of things and taking their stuff.

That's not just no listen atheism doesn't give you that it just doesn't there's no Ultimates there's no aughts in atheism and humanism. If it's a worldview devoid of Christ you got no Justification for a law like the Fourth Amendment.

So you want justice? For everybody no matter the color then I think you need to look at Jesus submit to his Lordship trust in him for salvation and for Forgiveness and you also need God's law as a standard of justice justice in your society because the Fourth Amendment comes from Christianity it does Fully completely there's a whole history behind the Fourth Amendment.

It goes back to Christians reading their Bibles understanding that God's law from Genesis to Revelation that whole Revelation talks in terms of Not lying and the need for witnesses the need for cross-examination.

If you like that, by the way cross-examination in the courts. You can thank Moses for that one as well because that's in the Bible as well. But when you look at the Fourth Amendment the Bible actually says that in order to bring charges against a person you have to have Two to three witnesses that is Old Testament and New Testament quoted again During the ministry of Christ and after the resurrection and ascension.

So this is a binding law today that everyone is supposed to obey second and third witnesses two and three that means you have to have two to three independent lines of witness and testimony to bring a charge against a person and our Fourth Amendment.

The demand that you you cannot just have an unlawful search and seizure you have to have a warrant those sorts of things. What do you do with a warrant? You have to go before a judge and provide evidence provide evidence.

So before an accusation can actually be Received there needs to be two to three independent lines of witness and testimony. Where's that come from comes from Scripture? You're gonna have evidence to bring charges against a person.

You can't just go into their house start roughing them up taking their stuff. You are not permitted to do that in a Christian society. That's from Christ. That's not from atheism. That's from Christ abandon Christ Abandon the Fourth Amendment abandon Christ Abandon justice, it's Christ or chaos the Fifth Amendment the right against self incrimination again.

If you like to Fifth Amendment if you like the right to remain Silent and not self incriminate once again, you can thank Moses for that because that comes right from the law of God and the Examples we have of justice in Scripture.

And so again when someone hears a pastor like myself talking about the Arizona Audit the need for integrity. These are good things. We ought to everybody support these things as image bearers of God. When they hear me talking about it and they say just stick to the gospel.

I would say I am why aren't you? Maybe I don't hold to the truncated Biblical worldview that you do you know. That's the Christian message only speaks to spiritual things out there somewhere in the heavenlies and nothing to do with this world and this life.

I actually believe that Jesus is a perfect Savior and I believe that when he saves he saves. Perfectly in an amazing way when God saves people he changes their heart and he changes their minds. When God saves people He makes them fall in love with him and his law.

And so I believe in a Transformative gospel a gospel that actually transforms people lives families churches society, you know. Actually, and I'll end on this point. Jesus says in Matthew 28 18 through 20 After saying that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him He says to go therefore because of that because he has all authority there and here and he says make disciples of all the nations.

That's the goal. Baptizing them in a name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He says teaching them to observe all that I've commanded you. Teaching them to obey and so it seems to me that in Scripture The ultimate goal is to win the nations and to have the nations be obedient to Jesus Christ.

How do you how are you obedient to Jesus you obey his teachings his commands his law? Jesus said that he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets in Matthew 5 17 through 19. He didn't come to destroy them.

Don't even let it enter into your mind that he came to destroy them he did not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them and so we Need to consider this very seriously because here's the deal. Let me just say this.

Okay for everybody involved in an election situation. We talk about an audit and integrity in elections. This matters. It matters a lot because if we abandon integrity in Elections if we don't have any concern for integrity in elections, whether you're on the left or the right doesn't matter.

Then what we have to look forward to in the future is tyranny. Whoever controls the election controls the nation. Whoever controls a nation controls the laws of that nation and That can go a very bad way for Christians if we have tyranny Communism Marxism as the ruling class in our nation if there's an abandonment of these standards of justice.
